The Curious Case of the Copper Culture Myth - Episode 8

Today we are examining the Copper Culture Myth that has recently experienced a revival due to popular media. We discuss the origins of the myth, look at particular aspects of it, like over 1.5 billion pounds of copper missing, and decide what evidence we would need to actually consider that Michigan copper fueled the Bronze age in Europe.

• This is Jason and my own review of the AU episode that has revived this myth.

• This is the best take down of the whole copper culture myth. It's written by Susan R. Martin in 1995, but it still holds today.
